COWSLIPS.

When mists beside the river kneel,
Like still gay nuns at mathis,
And catkins DER the willows steal,
All dressed in silvery satiDs,
Before the solaier-reeds nnbind
Their swords to tilt against the wind.
Before the grass begins to toss,
Its pretty fancles trifling.
Or buttercups find yellow floss
Enough to make their frilliDg,
The cowslips sit In golden crowds
Beneath dim April's frowning clouds.
Alone within the fields they tide;
No lover that way fingers;
The alders by the brooklet's side
Reach down their long brown fingers
One lonely robin. on the wing,
Is calling plaintively for spring.
But still, as brave and glad are they
AS any summer beauty;
They ask no rosy holiday;
They smile, for that's their duty,
And all the meadows gladness lies
Within their brave and shining eyes.
They promise days in one bright wreath
Of bloom and sunbeams airy;
The sweetness of their fresh young
breath
They give the showers to carry
To lonely homesteads, near far, fare.
Where hearts that long for spring.time
As If t were dew, the rain drops wet.
They talk with CHEEKY lightness;
None praise them; but, with fair pride
yet,
They wear their homely brightness,
For truest courage has its birth
In an inward sense of worth.

Reecher,s Habits of Labor.

Mr.. Beecher's powers Of work have been
frequently spoken of. Maj. Beecher was say
ing the other day that he thought them at
times unlimited. @Just look at what he did
this last year." the major added "A man Of
73, he preached and lectured eighty-three
times in the three months he was in England,
and then returned to resume his work here
without break. He has preached here twice
week since, and lectured on Fridays and
made many public addresses"
Though methodical in his habits of labor he
could never work when he did not feel in the
humor for it. u can't work unless the sap
flows" was his common remark when urged
to finish the "Life Of Christ. His correspon-
dence was immense. If away for few days
his table would be covered with letters from
all over the world. He was punctual in re-
plying to all that he found worth answering.
This was about the only writing he was &C.
customed to do at night-New York Tribuna

Industrial Education of Children.

Industrial education is the foundation, and
until it has, in its broadest and deepest sense,
become the portion of every child born on
American soil, that child has missed its birth
right With the many who accept 1t, it
stands merely as an added capacity to make
money, and if taken in its narrowest applica-
ton this is all that it can do. We're this all,
it would simply be an added impulse toward
the degeneration that money making for the
mere sake of money inevitably brings. But
at its best, perfected as it has been by patient
effort on the part of few believers, it is far
more than this. Added power to earn comes
with it, but there comes also q love Of the
work itself, such as has had no place since the
days when the great guilds gave joyfully
their few hours daily to the cathedrals whose
stones were laid and cemented In love and
hope and knowledge of the beauty to come,
that long ago died out of any work the pres
ent knows
The builders had small book knowledge.
They could be talked down by any public
school child in the second or third year But
they knew the meaning of beauty and order
and law, and this trinity stands to-day and
will stand for many generation to come as
an ideal to which we must return, till Ike
causes work again to Ike ends. The
child who could barely read saw
beauty on every side, and took in
the store of ballad and tradition that gave
life to labor. We have parted with all
this willfully. To the Puritan all beauty that
hand Of man could create was of the devil,
and thus we represent consecrated ugliRess,
any departure from which is even now by
some conscientious souls regarded with sus-
picion.-Helen Campbell.

This record shows only the extent to
which the tariff defence had been bro
ken down during the year 1886. But
producers and manufacturers are both
well aware that great change in the
same direction has been made since
1887 began by the dicision of the treas
ury admitting noils and tops as waste
at 10 cents per pound, whereas wool in
these forms takes the place of the finest
secured wool of American growth. Last
year the extreme low price realized by
the grower led to the slaughter of many
sheep and materially limited the con-
sumption of wooden goods by the farm>
ing population. AS fully half the
consumers of the country live on farms.
it is possible to render farmers less
willing to consume without imparing
the prosperity Of the manufacturers.
Hence it was found, at the close of last
year, that vast quantities of wooden
goods renamed uDsold in the hands of
dealers or manufacturers. 1t was the
every day complaint in the Boston
market that manufacturers could not
sell goods, because dealers all over the
country had bought too largely" last
year-that is, they had failed to sell
quantities corresponding with the large
manufacture of that year. This stag
gering fact prevented an advance in the
price OF goods, notwithstanding the
reduced supply of wool and its rise
abroad advanced the cost here. Then
manufacturers began to consider the
necessity of s'.spending production. and
for some werks pasr notices of stoppage
have appeared in journals especially
interested in that trade. But the latest
decision, it is believed, must admit fine
and secured wool called waste" 10 such
Quantities that the growers must be still
more injured, and their ability to con>
sumo q manufactured gooos still further
reduced. In fact, since that decision
was rendered. prices of wool have been
weak and declining for all classes, even
for combing wool which had previously
been most firmly maintained
Such is the situation. But one reme>
dy Is possible. A Democratic congress
will not pass, and a Democratic admin
istration will not Loyalty enforce,
protective act If the growers and the
manufacturers want prosperity they
must again unite as they did in 1867 to
secure mutual and common defence,
and to that end must secure Repnbli-
can congress and Republican admins

To DANISH RATs.-A writer in the
Scientific American says he cleared his
premises of the detestable vermin by
making whitewash yellow with copper
as. In every crevice in which rat may
60. be put the crystals of the copperss,
and scattered In the corners of the floor.
The result was the complete disappear
ance of rats and mice. Since that time
not rat or mouse has been near the
house. Every spring the cellar is coated
with the yellow wash, as a purifier, and
as rat exterminator, and no dysentery
or typhoid fever attacks the family.
Never allow rats and mice TO be pOison>
ed in the house; they are apt to die be-
tween the walls and produce much an
noyance.

Grains of Gold.

Hurt not your conscience with any
known sin.
Character is one of the greatest motive
powers in the world.
As every thread of gold is valuable, so
is every moment of time.
Prayer is the outlet of sorrow, and the
inlet of support and comfort.
Great hearts alone understand how
much there is in being good.
Never think that you can make your
self great by making another less.
With the generality of men policy Is
much more powerful than principle.
Any feeling that takes man away
from home is traitor to the household.
The real man is one who always finds
excuses for others but never excuses
himself.
Were we as eloquent as angels, we
should please some more by listening
than by talking.
Reputation is what men and women
shiuk of US; character is what God
knows of rs.
1t is no diminution to have been in
the wrong perfection is not the attribute
Of NAL
The generous never enjoy their pos
sessions so much as when others are
made partakers of them.
Success is full of promise till men get
it; and then it is Il last years nest. from
which the bird has flown.
We go to the grave of a friend saying,
"A man is dead;' but angels throng about
him saying, "A man is born
He who is false to present duty breaks
thread in the loom, and may lind the
flaw when he may have forgotten the
cause.
A helping word to one in 'rouble Is
often like a switch on a railroad track
but one inch between wreck and smooth
ly rolling prosperity.
We sleep. but the loom of life never
stops; and the pattern which was weav-
ing when the sun went down is weaving
when 1t comes up tomorrow.
We ought to love life; we ought to
desire to live so long as God ordsins 1t;
but let us not so encase ourselves In
time that we cannot break the crust and
begin to throw out shoots for the other
life.

Boston Girl on a Tohorxan.

The Boston girl is herself on toboggsn, a
everywhere else. In the first place she modi-
fies and subdues the costume TO suit her own
personality The wild eccentricities Of the
St Paul or the Montreal maiden are tanned
by her to a charm as delusive and delightful
as herself.
The Boston girl does not take up toboggan-
ing because it is a craze, nor because OF ftl
possibilities of picturesqueness and effective
ness, as the New York girl does She accepts
it as one of the developments Of the progress
of this last quarter of the century, and goos
into it with concentration and the certain
charming seriousness which is part OF her
way of looking at everything. She Is con-
scious first and last and always that all pleas-
ures are elusive and feeting, but she sees ths
philosophical beauty Of change, and accepts
tobogganing as she viii presently accept
whatever other good the gods send her in ths
way of fun.
The Boston girl makes her own suit and
gets up gay little costume at cost of IS or
$40, which would cost at least half as much
again in restores. Then she goes forth 20
Cambridge or Corey Hill or some other en-
chanting suburban slide and enjoys the moon
light and the fun, and If she catches cold
from overexercise or from getting tipped over
into tine snow she goes home and mindcures
the cold away and comes forth the next day
brighter and more self-conident than ever,
with new flush Of pink arbutus for her deli
cate face.-Boston Record. A

Rev. DIR. RAY PALMER, the veners-
bic clergyman who died at Newark, N.
j., Tuesday of last week. has left far
more noble and beautiful memorial be-
hind hin than most men build who
make vastly greater stir in the world.
His many familiar hymns, such as MY
faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of
Calvary. will be dear to a multitude of
hearts when half the noisy statesmen
in the country have been wholly for
gotten.
